News of Interest Gleaned Pron

How to Mix Fertilizers.
Clemson College, Special.-Mr. T.
E. Keitt, chemist of the South Caro
lina Experiment Station, has prepar
ed an article on "Home Mixing of
Commmercial Fertilizers," a sum
mary of which is given herewith. As
the time approaches for the farmer to
procure his fetilizers for the next
crop, the question confronts him:
How can I get the maximum of the
most available plant food at the min
imum price? Although growing
plants derive their food from soil,
water and air, it .is the fertility of
the soil that concerns us in the appli
cation of commercial fertilizers. The
chief clements which plants derive
from the soil are potassium, phospho
rus, nitrogen, calcium and sulphur.
The constant natural activities going
on in the soil furnish generally
enough of all except nitrogen, phos
phoric acid, and potash, which, there
fore, the farmer must buy in the form
of -commercial fertilizers.
In what ?orra shall these be
bought? As unmixed materials or as
mixed fertilizers? The manufac
ture of available phosphoric acid
from raw ro?k or bone requires skill
and experience, and to the novice is
somewhat dangerous; therefore, it is
not generally desirable for the farmer
to' attempt to make ;<superphos
phates." But mixing the manuac
tured goods is rather simple, requir
ing (1) judgment in selecting ma
terial, (2) knowledge of the calcula
tions involved, (3) a tight floor to
mix on, and (4) a plenty of energy.
1. The material will depend on the
character of the soil, the crop to be
grown and the price of material.
Phosphoric acid hastens maturity and
aids in developing the seed; potash
lengthens the growing season and
stiffens the stalk; nitrogen gives
rapid and luxuriant growth. Nitro
gen, the most expensive, can be sup
plied by legumes-peas, etc, bu^ the
one-crop system now followed neces
sitates the ?buying of nitrogen in the
form of nitrate of soda, sulphate of
ammonia, dried blood and cotton seed
meal. The present prohibitive price
of dried blood leaves us the other
three forms in which to obtain nitro
gen, until we adopt systems of rota
tion to supply it.
The commercial sources of potash
are kainit, muriate and sulphate of
potash, containing 12.50 and 4S per
cent of potash, respectively. For
cotton' or corn, muriate or kainit is
better because cheaper; but muriate
cannot be used for tobacco, as it in
jures the burning qualities of the
leaf. For potatoes, turnips and
other root crops some claim that thc
sulphate is better.
Phosphoric acid can be obtained,
from the 14 per cent or the 16 per
cent article. When prices are pro
portinate, the higher grade bought
saves in the hauling. Do not be
afraid to use a few postage stamps
writing to a number, of firms for
prices, and, if possible, order in car
load lots, alone, or by clubbing with
..neighbors.
2. As to calculations, a unit is 1
per cent of a ton, or 20 pounds. If
we desire an 8-3-3 guano, we must
have in a ton 8 units of phosphoric
acid, 3 of ammonia, or its equivalent,
and 3 of potash, or 160 pounds of
the first. 60 of the second and 60
of the third. Suppose we desire to
get the ammonia half from meal and
half from nitrate and thc acid from
16 per cent phosphate, the following
amounts would give the S-Z-3 ratio:
429 pounds meal, 167 pounds nitrate,,
ll pounds muriate, 960 pounds acid.
333 pounds filler. The number of
hundred pounds of material is ?rot
ten by dividing the amount of plant
food desired by the per cent contain
ed in the material.
Using full sacks for greater con
venience, 400 pounds 'meal, 200 of
Dispensary Law Violated.
Columbia, Special.-Four cases of
violation of the dispensary ordinance
were made last week by Dispensary
Constables Ogg and McSwain. The
accussed who will be given a hearina:
before Recorder Stanley are: Bob
McCrary, colored, the city dog catch
er; May Hill, colored; Annie Hardin,
white, and Ida Walker, colored.
Matter no Nearer Solution.
Charleston, Special.-The commit
tee on insurance of city council is
apparently rib nearer a solution of
its troubles in the fight to secure
cheaper fire insuran.ee rates than ii
wa? before its two hours' meet?
Thursday night, when a number
the agents of the city app?ared be
fore the committee and asked that
no steps be taken to force them out
of business in the move recommend
ed recently by Chairman Wohltmann.
in the revoking of the licenses of
those companies which do not grant
a lower rate.
Robert Counts Dies.
Florence, Special.-Robert Counts,
the negro prisoner who was shot by
Jailor Anderson some weeks ago while
trying to escape from the jail, and
who has been critically ill ever since,
'died last week. The shot from the
jailer's pistol cut a hole directly
through Count's backbone, severing
the spinal cord and causing paraly
sis of the entire Jower portion of
the body and limbs.
Chimes Being Installed.
Durham, Special.-Thc chimes in
the Memorial church, donated by Mr.
and Mrs. J. Ed Stagg in honor of
their mothers, arc being installed.
Tiiey will cost $7,500 and are beauti
ful ?>ells weighing six pounds for
every dollar. Co.icerts will be given
next week to the Conference which
will be in session here. The work of
installation will require several days.
The cattle quarantine has been ex
tended to all roads in a number of
Pennsylvania counties.
n Ai! Sections of the State and
Busy Readers
nitrate ol' soda, 100 of muriate of
potash, 1,000 of 16 per cent acid,
and 300 of filler would give a mixture
grading fi.3-3.227, instead of S-3-3,
which is closer than many factory
mixed fertilizers come to the guar
antee.
To get high-grade mixed fertili
zers we must of course, use high
grade materials. In the above mix
ture, if no filler is used, we would
have 1,700 pounds grading about
9.7-3.7-3.2. It is obvious that we
cannot get an 8-4-4 goods by getting
all of thc- ammonia from meal and
all of the potash from kainit. Very
likely the above mixture would run
slightly over guarantee, because the
seller should allow a margin cn each
of his raw materials, whereas, in a
mixed fertilizer, one. or even two,
of the elements may foll below guar
antee, and the other elements might
pull it over in relative commercial
value. ,
3. Any tight floor may be vised for
mixing, but better under a shed so
that rainy days may be used for mix
ing. A practical farmer tells me that
three hands with hoes and shovel ran
do the mixing at about ?ne dollar
per ton. It is convenient to mix
about, 800 pounds at a time, putting
the mixed fertilizer back into the
sacks from which the raw material
came. In this way.a saving of $3
to $4 per ton can be made over the
prices of factory-mixed goods.
Summing up, by mixing his own
fertilizers the farmer knows just
what are the sources of the elements
of his fertilizer: he avoids undesir
able sources and materials; he may
study his soil, crops and conditions
and supply in any proportions those
ingredients most needed : he may save
transportation of the filler; he may
save the middleman's profit, and sev
eral dollars per ton on the actual
mixing.
Augusta-Aikon Boulevard.
Aiken. Special.-The Augusta
Aiken boulevard is still being pushed,
ihc eountv commissioners authorized
tho road from tho foot of the North
Augusta Bridge via Belvedere and a
cross to Bath, and thence to Aiken
via Warrenville, upon thr- condition
that the petitioners who asked for the
road should build the necessary five
or six miles across fvom a point near
Belvedere through Bath to Landey
road, and thru that the county com
missioners should take charge of the I
road and maintain it in the future,
A profile of the plans for the work
of constructing thc road from Belve
dere, across the country has been
made. It will take between five and
six thousand dollars to finish the road.
The cotton mills of Horsecreek Valley
including Clearwater, Bath, Langlev,
Warrenville and Graniteville. and the
Augusta Land and Improvement Com
pany, and the' trolley road have sub
scribed about $1,000 for this purpose,
and other parties in Aiken and Au
gusta have subscribed in the neigh
borhood of $800. It is hoped that at
least $500 more will .be raised in this
city. Mr. D. S. Henderson, of Aiken,
has interested himself in this matter
a great deal, in the hone that when
the road reaches Aiken it will be run
on to Columbia, and thence to Cam
den, iu order that there may be a
fine driveway the entire distance to
Comdcn from Aiken. Mr. Hender
son has himself collected from per
sons interested in this movement in
Aiken about $250.
No Hazing it Clemson College.
Clemson College. Special.-The re
port of thc expulsion of cadets for
hazing is erroneous. Two cadets have
been dismissed recently, one for ex
cess of demerits, tho other for drink
ing and fighting, and the fiehtinir was
between two old students and was
not the hazing of a new student by
an old one.
Experiment Farm for Negroes.
Greenville, Special.-Thc United
States department of agriculture has
decided to locate an experiment farm
for the colored people at Sterling col
lege, this city. The farm" will be sim
ilar to the one at Clemson college.
The announcement was made by a
representative of the government here
last week.
Spark Causes Costly Fire.
Chester. Special.-The most de
structive fire known in the history of
Richburg visited that place last week.
Two hundred bales of cotton were
'urned as well as the Farmer's
r'olesale Grocery Company's store
fud stock, the freight and passenger
uepot of the L. and C. Railway, sev
eral cotton seed ware houses and
seed, a ginnery, several freisht cars,
and one or two other small buildings.
The loss is estimated at about $30,
000, possibly the most of it being
covered by insurance. The fire is
thought to htive originated from a
spark from a passing engine.
All Maryland Quarantined.
Washington, Special.-The Agricul
tural Deportment has issued an order
quarantining thc entire State of
Maryland on t.ceount of the foot ^nd
mouth disease. Secretary W on
stated that the only cases so' far
known in thc State were in Carroll
county and that thc disease had been
brought in from Detroit.
Two Cent Postage to Germany.

warm and dry and comfortable for
the fowls during the cold weather that

not more than one in a hundred but.

THE CARE OP IRONS'.
The woman who is going away for
a short time in the summer, or who
is not having the laundry done in
the house, should be careful that her
flatirons are not allowed to rust.
When she needs them she may
not realize how rusty they ave until
she finds out that they do not keep
enough heat in them to do but a
few seconds' work.
They will be practically useless for
a quick day's work unless the entire
surface is again carefully worked up
to a smooth polish.
The damp weather of the end of
the summer is quite apt to rust any
metal that is left unprotected. Irons
should be well wrapped in newspa
per and then put away in a dry '
spot.-Indianapolis News.
Diamonds Burn Like Cea!.
The jeweller at closing time was
putting his diamonds in a huge safe.
"But why do you bother to do that,
when two watchmen walk the shop all
night long?"
"On accoount of fire." the jeweller
replied. "Diamonds are nothing but
coal-carbon-they burn beriutlfully.
Their hardness makes us think them
indestructible, but as a matter cf fact
a fire of diamonds would be the brisk
est, prettiest thing in thc world.
"Put a handful of diamonds on a
plate and set a light to thora. They
will burn with a hard, gera-like flame
till' nothing is left. There will be
no smoke, no soot, and at the end
the plate will be as clean as though
just washed-not tho slightest par
ticle even of ash will remain."-Los
Angeles Times.
